Did someone really choose to pay thousands more than they needed to? Or did the seller just get caught holding the bag shill bidding their own auction? I’m wondering if maybe they shill bid it under their reserve yet still up too high, thinking it would just be RNM, but instead BaT cut their commission - took less - and sold it anyways. LMAO

Either way it’s pretty funny. The only two options are a completely obtuse buyer, or, a seller that just paid BaT a lot of money for nothing.

The seller was the same seller I mentioned the other day with regard to questionable practices. It does seem really fishy.

On the 2008 997 base coupe he no sale'd and then "sold" outside BAT to one of the bidders..... I know exactly what he paid for that car and I cannot imagine he made anything on it knowing his rough costs after purchasing the car at Manheim. I suspect it will show up on his site or another again at a high price.
